Increased limits in metafield and metaobject definitions

We've increased the limits for metafield and metaobject definitions, providing you with more flexibility when building custom data structures for your apps and stores.

• For app developers: Each app has its own allocation, so apps aren't competing with each other for definition space.
• For merchants: Higher limits support complex workflows across multiple apps and meet custom data needs.
• For metaobject entries: The 1,000,000 entry limit per definition removes previous plan-based restrictions of 64,000 (non-Plus) and 128,000 (Plus).

With these new limits, you can:

• Create more granular data structures in your apps.
• Support larger catalogs and content libraries.
• Build apps with richer metadata without worrying about hitting limits.
